Nashville, TN – Police are actively searching for a 27-year-old man following a fatal shooting outside a Jefferson Street market, sparking a public safety alert and urgent calls for assistance from the community.
According to the Nashville Police Department, Christian A. Ibe is allegedly wanted in connection with the killing of Marcus Caruthers, 33, which took place on Wednesday outside Kings Market at 1800 Jefferson Street. Authorities allege Ibe shot Caruthers after an argument reportedly broke out between Ibe and a woman. Caruthers was allegedly attempting to intervene in the dispute when the shooting occurred.
Police say an arrest warrant charging Ibe with criminal homicide has been issued. According to law enforcement, Ibe was allegedly wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor due to a November 2024 domestic violence case, but the device was reportedly cut off after Wednesday’s shooting. Investigators later recovered Ibe’s alleged getaway vehicle, an SUV, unoccupied on 42nd Avenue North, and the car has since been impounded.
The Nashville Police Department is urging anyone who may have information regarding Christian Ibe’s whereabouts to contact 911 or Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Authorities stress that Ibe should not be approached and emphasize the importance of public cooperation as the search continues.
This homicide remains under investigation, and further details will be released as they become available.
